In the adjoining figure, `triangle ABC and triangleDBC` are on the same base BC with A and D on opposite sides of BC such that `ar(triangleABC)=ar(triangleDBC)`. Show that BC bisect AD.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Draw `AL bot BC and DM bot BC`.
Since `triangleABC and triangleDBC` have the same base BC and are equal in area, their altitudes must be equal. So, AL = DM.
Let AD and BC intersect at O.
Now, `triangleALO cong triangleDMO`. Therefore, OA = OD.
